A plea ascends, a whispered cry,

“God help us now, beneath this sky.”

Chains bind us tight, a heavy toll,

How to break free and save the soul?

Insanity’s breath, a chilling breeze,

Whispers of madness through the trees.

This world, a whirlwind, wild and vast,

Some claim they hold the answers fast.

“How?!” we implore, a desperate plea,

Adrift together on a troubled sea.

I’ll own my ignorance, the gaps I see,

But truth is veiled, for you and me.

The all-knowing sage, a dangerous guise,

A blind man’s lesson, teaching eyes.

Misunderstood, the silence stings,

Yet wisdom’s voice, a blessing sings.

But no one knows it all, the truth’s embrace,

A chasm yawns ‘twixt arrogance and grace.

Can faith reside with open heart and hand,

Acceptance bloom in this divided land?

Kindness, a fear, a hesitant step,

“A threat concealed?” the wary kept.

Is empathy lost to self-defense,

A barricade against all offense?

“Nothing is new,” the proverb drones,

But darkness festers, rattling bones.

Drugs and weapons, a twisted art,

Ignored by some, tearing us apart.

Unpredictable, life’s fickle game,

One day you’re safe, the next, you’re lame.

A game of tag, a sudden plight,

One day, my friend, you just might be “It.”
